I’m well aware that both elementaryOS and its Pantheon DE were innovative and made major strides for user-friendliness a couple of years back. Hence, they rightfully earned a spot among the newbie-friendly distros. However, I might be wrong, but it feels as if they haven’t been able to keep momentum. And therefore lost their significance.
If you think I’m wrong, please feel free to correct me; I would love to be educated on how elementaryOS has kept relevance (if they actually have).
